The NFL better be all over netflix after this.
Fix your shit or we make the game available to the OTA stations. Wonder if they would do that mid game if netflix fails.

Yeah after that abomination last night, I would lying if I didn't say I'm concerned about it. That whole thing was a complete cluster. The last time I experienced something that bad, I was trying to watch a video on-line, in the 90's, with dial up. Netflix obviously isn't ready for prime time yet.

I mean it was spoiled before the fight it had to go the distance for them to get paid. Was a real as a John Cena match. The "fight" was cooked before it began.

The fact that I was there is exactly why this was such a ****ing joke.

Yeah who knew a 58 year old cant go more than 2 rounds? Nostalgia can be great at times. Not in boxing.

I use to watch boxing in the 80's/90's. I really enjoyed the Mexican and the women matches. Best boxing I've seen in a long time. But, the Serrano match reminded me why I quit watching, scoring is still unfair and biased.

If you enjoy script...sure. Those that expected a legit fight were screwed. 2 minute rounds and the gloves also said alot :-)

Damn, forgot about that place. I moved away from KC in 97, but remember going there to see Bob Walkenhorst play (acoustic).

For my generation, nobody was more bad ass than Tyson up to the Douglas fight. For you young whippersnappers, pull up Tysons one punch knockouts on youtube. For the most part these were top 20 ranked fighters in their era. Tyson would destroy them without breaking a sweat.

Boxing has always been an over the top showmanship. Hucksters. Cringe worthy attempts at entertainment.

When I was a fan, I hated women boxing. It was about mano on mano. Go ahead and cancel me now.

Nostalgia? What in the fuck? You actually felt sentimental watching Tyson stand on spaghetti legs getting worked by a below average YouTube celebrity?
